1
1    stdout  Standard output
2    stderr  Standard error

cmd 1>> $LOG append stdout (only) to $LOG
cmd 1>> $LOG 2>>$LOG append stdout and stderr to $LOG

you could do

cmd >> $LOG 2>&1 

or

cmd &>>$LOG

too

1 => stdout. 2 => stderr.

They are the default file descriptors (fd) for stdin & stdout.
